early key collectionroom readinessstaff welcomebedroom light
The hotel staff was very accommodating. They allowed early key collection for a wedding, helpful. the room was actually ready so we could put our things in early. this made attending the wedding much easier. the staff's welcome was great.
the bright green light in the bedroom could not be turned off. this kept me awake a bit during the night. i think it would be a great idea to fix this.
